The remote start button is on the
transmitter.

This feature allows you to start your
vehicle from the outside. The transmitter
has an extended operating range.

You can configure vehicles with automatic
climate control to turn on the automatic
climate control when you remote start your
vehicle.  See Automatic Climate Control
(page 146).  A manual climate control
system runs at the setting you set it to
when you switched your vehicle off.

Many states and provinces restrict the use
of remote start. Check your local and state
or provincial laws for specific requirements
regarding remote start systems.

The remote start system does not work if
any of the following occur:
•

The ignition is on.

•

The anti-theft alarm triggers.

•

You switch off the feature.

•

The hood is open.

•

The transmission is not in park (P).

•

The battery voltage is below the
minimum operating voltage.
